A few more VS 2005 Windows Forms features

I have recently been using Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2005, looking at Windows Forms development.

I have discovered a few items that really help with Windows Forms development.

First, buttons have a new property AutoEllipsis; if your button text does not fit within the boundaries of the button, an ellipsis is automatically added.

In the project properties, you can "enable XP visual styles". What this does is allow your forms to have an XP look and feel (move the mouse over a button and see the effect)
